the most out of pocket fighting game moments 

"What're you standing up for!?" is always even funnier than people remember because, as Toph has noted in his since-deleted Crowbcat FGC reaction video, Woshige actually *was* able to get to his controller and press exactly ONE button; him pressing that button made Ogawa get him with a counterhit and therefore deal _MORE DAMAGE_ than if Woshige didn't get to his stick on time.

As a Big Band main, I can confirm that I have spent more time in the lab learning songs than I have spent learning combos

That Happy Birthday was so disrespectful, I love it.

"Let's go, Justin!" "That ain't Falco!" "Is that Frost!?"

In the "You gonna learn today" clip that was Mortal Kombat X, not 11, which is relevant for this neat fact - apparently AsianLamb has grown up and tweeted Justin for a runback in either MK 11 or the reboot, and Justin responded saying he's down. It'd be a pretty fun followup if this dude has been practicing non-stop for 8 years just to get his revenge.

My favorite part about the kid vs. Justin Wong match is when the boy says "Is this all you ever do in your house?" and you can just see Justin's smile going away while he repeats "welcome to the real world" again.

the tokido raging demon may have now become my favorite FGC moment ever

That Big Band Happy Birthday into Happy Birthday into KO was probably the dirtiest thing Ive ever seen in a fighting game. Brilliant.

Damn learning the context behind 13-0 makes it even worse 💀💀💀

I saw the happy birthday thing like a couple years ago, but never played skull girls so i always thought the song played automatically when you hit with the move and they just had a bunch of different tunes the game would choose from. Knowing that the players have to actually lab out the move like an instrument and actually Play the song.. Holy shit.

Salty suite was a thing in melee where people would like hype up playing each other before the match. Chillindude made this whole speech about how he would make Leffen (a baby at the time) respect his elders. Leffen absolutely annihilated him, and Chillin just got on the mic and said "my b" before walking off stage. Hilarious

Raging Demon Tokido is just too iconic. The dorkiest coolest move of all time.

Damn, JM really got told to get in the robot.

“What’re you standing up for?!” was actually part of the lexicon before that, thanks to what believe was a Ricki Ortiz vs Wolfkrone match. Hellpockets was referencing UltraDavid, who said it first Edit: Thanks for the correction. I thought it was TastySteve, not Hellpockets.

i was WAITING for “welcome to the real world”, i say that to my non-fgc friends to this day

Sanford vs Rico Suave. The freshmaker moment is one of my favorite moments in fgs

After losing 10-0 PL decided to climb out of his grave and say: "Nah, dig it DEEPER'! 😂 And the legacy of Perfect 13gend was born! 😂

My absolute favorite clip is when one dude took out his phone and showed discord screenshots of his male opponent dressed up as a cat girl right before the match

You could do an Out of Pocket moments from the FGC as well. > Yooooo Marvel!!! > Viscant's monologue against LTG > Who bitch this is? > Somebody's getting fucked song (the FGC's unofficial hymn) > Yipe's meteors in ass commentary > Dieminion's Prince of darkness entry stage And many, many more! These moments deserve more recognition, and deserve to be treasured by the community!

I laugh every time perfect 13gend gets upset that people won't let him live it down. Like bro you walked face first into that ass beating *twice* you get to hold that L for life.

Two things, first off the “what are you standing up for” was originally between wolfkrone and ricky ortiz when krone stood up after he thought he had it in the bag after landing the ultra and ricky made a crazy comeback and you can see ricky mouth the words “what are you standing up for?” after the match. Second, the quicksilver glitch is actually a dmc3 reference because in that game dante can literally make enemies move slower, and in the case of the mvc3 glitch, basically stop the opponent from doing anything.

that 8 year old hit up justin on twitter like yesterday that he wants his run back LMAO

You got to at least honorable mention the LTG vs Viscant set!

LTG shouting: "END THE ULTRA" whilst being wombo combo'd in KI

We gotttttta mention KaneBlueRiver getting his revenge on FChamp like a day after their FT10 exhibition where Ryan tried his best to insult KBR in every way possible. Yipes' commentary made the whole thing. "this is JUSTICE!"

The Justin Wong trolling the kid, has popped back up because the kid actually NOW wants his run back lmao Justin has been Getting tagged on twitter and by the guy

I really wish you would have changed the audio balance for some of those skullgirls clips. It's just not the same if you can't actually *hear* big band playing the songs.

10:20 - My friends and I were HUGE into marvel 2, one of them still competes. Our local arcade was called "Tilt" and we were there pretty much every day, but it wasn't really a popular place, so we'd usually have the marvel machine to ourselves. A kid came up to play us but we needed to leave, so my friend picked Gambit and did the snapback glitch, and launched himself off the screen and walked off. The whole time the kid kept going "change it back! change it back!" as we were leaving. Every time I see this clip I immediately think of that time

The big band plays are hilarious

not "out of pocket" but one of the most memorable FG moments to me is the Monday Mitten Masher. That "SOMEBODY'S GETTING FUCKED" resonates in my brain any time I see some smackdown.

All of those were AWESOME moments, i loved the happy birthday and pokchop picking the phone "WAZZ UP, AM COOKING RGHT NOW", being good is no longer my aim, now i want to be as good as pokchop, picking the phone while cooking and winning son

I was right there sitting near the stage during that famous Woshige moment. The sheer atmosphere of pure “wtf are you doing!?” and uncertain cheering was an unforgettable moment.

The Tokido demon moment is so good. I feel like anyone who hits a round-ending demon wants to hit that pose with the K.O. screen.

"Who bitch this is?!" continues to live rent-free

I love that Ono saw Woshige stand up and decided to hire him right there and then

Kbrad's "Ima block this wack ahh mixup" sadly wasnt here, I guess it's not exactly out of pocket but it's just so hilarious and I recommend ANYONE who doesnt know what Im referring to checks it out

And that was how Perfect Legend came to be known as Perfected 13gend.

Getting back to this video is always a treat! My favourite moment ever is that UMvC3 match when, at round start, the Nova player lands a grab and before the animation is even over the opponent pauses and goes back to the character select screen 😂

Justin wasn’t bullying the lil kid, he was “character carving” 😂

Another "out of pocket" moments is when Viscount defeated LTG and the post game interview was mad funny.

It don't get more disrespectful than answering your phone and still winning

Tokido had no right to pull that Raging Demon God that's amazing

So so good - these are my favorite kinds of videos u make JM. Ur so great at telling these kinds of stories with clarity and humor, keep ‘em comin!

I've got a softspot for Poongko's shennanigans, so I nominate Poongko vs. Onisan at Evo 2015. The double-shirtless beatdown. Man Evo was so much smaller back then.

So many good ones. It was cool to see a few that were new to me. Great videos as always jm!

This was classic. I remember this going down. The smack talk from perfect legend was crazy. For him to go down like he did was perfect writing in history. You can't make it up

I have a story from when I was 18 ... way back - was a few months after street fighter 2 hit the arcades. There was this twenty something guy who was going from machine to machine in an arcade, beating kids who were clearly new. This was Australia. You got one play per australian DOLLAR, so kids couldn't afford to keep playing and were getting robbed. This dude was so proud of himself for effectively taking kids' lunch money, and I finally got sick of it. I verbally challenged him to "pub rules" (a set of rules people played 8-ball by in pubs) Now, this was at a time when there was a social understanding that you don't use throws because it was cheap (you couldn't block them or some other stupid reason). But, pub rules were pub rules, so I picked Chun Li for the walk speed and throw range ... and threw him over and over and won with a double perfect. Pub rules were pub rules. I insisted he drop his pants and run around the building twice. He was never seen in that arcade again.

As someone who constantly used to think fireballs were cheap and got bodied by them when I was a kid, I can say that getting BMed hard for being bad did not turn me off fighting games. It made me learn how to go around or through them to get my revenge. It was fun and the BM was always for fun and never mean. There's a line from funny banter to being actually toxic, and Jwong did not cross it.

Pokchop honestly has to be top 3 funniest fighting game players of all tome

Best part of the welcome to the rewl world clip is when the kid says "is this all you do in your house??"

(2:28) jmcrofts: "Y'know, amazing player, no disrespect to Perfect Legend." SonicFox:

I know there were similar clips in this video but Woolie against that Big Band player in Skullgirls will never not be amazing

From what I recall, the Quicksilver Glitch had something to do with Bold Canceling, I think you basically bold canceled the freeze of the team hyper combo and it kept the screen frozen and you could cancel the bold move into million stabs over and over, something like that.

"No disrespect to Perfect Legend." *makes him his thumbnail with the caption 13-0.

Fun fact about the Tokido moment: he did that vs ClakeyD, one time League of Legends Pro and Dev on games like Battle for the Grid

This video was so much fun. I wish it was a little bit longer 😂

8:39 - I can't believe this lol - I like watching halls of hype videos when I code, and this clip came up for me yesterday randomly. There's a whole lot of "wtf" moments for me in this video so far lol :D

2:42 I was there almost front row for that, it was so hype, also funny and sad... a costly life lesson on keeping up on how the set is actually going.

An honorable mention for me is the FT5 between marq teddy and bushinstyle in the sf4 guy mirror match where marq 5-0d him and taunted him in real life. "Do the bushin do the bushin" Def one of my fav moments watching that set

Man really lost 0-13 in a ft10. Should have just taken the 10 loss and walked away.

I don't play Smash but hands down one of the most disrespectful/out of pocket moments that EVER happened was when in tournament (sorry don't know players names) someone was using Steve from Minecraft then proceed to type "F" with the blocks Steve uses then KO thier opponent. I would've retired right then and there. Mad disrespectful. 😂😂😂

I've never played skullgirls, so witnessing happy birthday for the 1st time today was sofa king legendary to me 😂😂😂

Apparently, the guy in the JWong clip wants the run-back.

WHATSUP IM COOKIN RIGHT NOW

Favorite FGC moments come from excellent adventures with Kbrad and Infiltration as guests.. nothing but bangers there. To follow up, Mike Ross vs KBrad capcom pro talk shit talk was a thing of legends as well

"What are you standing up for?" Is actually famous because of Ricki Ortiz vs Wolfkrone in SF4 circa 2012, not from the Woshige EVO blunder. Just for correct FGC history.

Oh that's cool. I love it when the developers give you a minigame of playing music - FF14, GW2, Warframe Octavia. You can get really creative with it.

I've never seen that pokchop clip before LEGENDARY STUFF!!!!!

Sonic Fox the absolute monster who has played in suit with the head on (severely affecting vision) all the way through pools then taking it off like Lee taking off the weighted gear in Naruto.

The ending to Titus vs Nolber MVC2 major comeback with a belt swing at the end yipes on commentary was golden.

That porkchop video was from my scene end of the year local tournament Macon Ga that was the funniest thing I’ve seen , but it was all love and respect at the end of the day

"flash Metroid gets bodied" Still one of my favorite FGC videos on RU-vid. The no look!

“What are you standing up” has replaced everything I say regarding “what’s wrong with you” 😂😂😂😂

Thank you for explaining the terms eg happy birthday and the glitches etc. Made it more enjoyable

jmcrofts: explains the reason behind Cody’s Zonk Knuckle jump feint Maximillian: K I N G C R I M S O N

Im waiting for Dan to come out in sf6 with a taunt and yells ""What're you standing up for!?"

Respect to the kid for not RQ tho grown adult men would’ve.

Man that LTG VS viscant was wild lol

Watching Perfect Legend lose is always a treat 😂

A highlight reel of Poongko taking his shirt off and throwing milk bottles at the crowd would have fit lol

“What’s up I’m cookin’ right now” is now my go to phrase when picking up the phone

The Perfect legend moment will never be forgotten 😂

That wasnt an online moment, he was just caught in a genjutsu

Finally some more FGC history. Some I know some I don't. Let's gooo

I want to put on note the phrase "what are you standing up for" was actually referencing a famous Ricky Ortiz vs Wolfkrone match in which Krone did the same thing

“ I WANT THAT GUY BANNED FROM THIS ARCADE” is amazing

5:33 - this man has been WAITING for this moment for YEARS. That's the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen and I've been a part of the FGC for over 20 years. LOL omg

The OG “what are you standing up for” is the Wolfkrone vs Ricky Ortiz match in SF4. Shout out to UltraDavid for having so many uncredited iconic FGC quotes.

Probably my favorite out of pocket FGC moment is the "🎶somebody's getting fuuuuukt🎶", I sing it every now and then 😂

That Happy Birthday song is NASTTTTTTYYYYY WORK!

I have no idea what "out of pocket" means, but I'm on board for this video!

Poongko shirt off at EVO for sure. And I think it made things MORE hype when the mic would cut out. Speaking fo which, I'm looking for an old Marvel 3 moment. It's when Ultra David commented a match and I remember it was a character (Tron Bonne maybe?) rolling into Dark Phoenix and command grabbing her, and he said "What's he got, ohhh" right as the mic cut out. Anyone know where I can find this?

It will never not be hilarious that PL went 13-0 in a first to 10

Loved using that ruby heart glitch on people who would use other glitches to win.

My pick is the video entitled "Poongko Let you laugh". It's Poongko streaming SF4, his Seth vs E. Honda. At the end, he activates Seth's Tanden Typhoon Ultra, thinking it's going to win the round, and imitates the move by crossing his arms and leaning back. Except while he's leaning back, it turns out the move didn't win the round after all...

Nice to see Menkar steal my video clip without giving me credit lol

Rollback hates me tell me why i throw a dp and for a frame it connects it shows them getting hit but then rollback happens and it cuts to him blocking it costing me the game

The Tokido moment wasn't out of pocket it was just sick

6:43 - holy shit I thought of this clip immediately after the happy birthday thing! I saw this happen lol, I freaked out a bunch

Please watch the whole Sonic vs PL video, this description does not do the buildup or the fall of PL justice lmao. It is an all-time great FGC moment.
